Folding Seasons: A Sculptural Coffee Table by Aw Siao Ping

SINGAPORE -- /DESIGN/newswire -- Jul 08, 2022

Introducing the Folding Seasons Coffee Table by Aw Siao Ping, a sculptural form inspired by the cyclical nature of changing seasons, offering a holistic balance for wellness and healthy living.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Folding Seasons: Sculptural Coffee Table

Aw Siao Ping's Folding Seasons is a sculptural coffee table inspired by the gradual transformation of fleeting moments in changing seasons. The design merges 4 ellipses to create smooth undulating linear flows, symbolizing the cyclical and changeable nature of the seasons.

The unique design comprises 4 interlocking rings, representing the 4 seasons, fused into an endless line forming a knot, symbolizing an ever-evolving relationship. The table embodies the meanings of natural, energy, emotional, and spiritual healing, offering a holistic balance for wellness and healthy living.

The wood version of the table is made of laser-cut aircraft plywood, while the metal version is crafted from 5mm thick aluminum alloy. Both versions feature a glass top and can be fabricated to different heights without affecting structural integrity and form.

The project, which started in June 2021 and finished in June 2022 in Singapore, has been awarded the Iron A' Design Award in 2023. The design is currently undergoing further development for mass production, with additional versions in progress.

Aw Siao Ping overcame various creative and technical challenges during the design process, utilizing paper craft and plywood models to study tensile strength, forms, and joints. The final product has undergone load-bearing tests, ensuring stability and safety.

With its innovative design and symbolic representation of the changing seasons, the Folding Seasons Coffee Table offers a unique and artistic addition to any space, reflecting the beauty of nature's cyclical patterns.
